The Writer's Guide to the Internet is written in a style that holds the interest. The beginning can be a bit boring for the experienced computer user, but it was written in such a way that a non-computer literate person could use the book to find his way around the web. Its a book for first-time computer users, as well as those more experienced in surfing the net.
I've actually learned a lot in this book. I usually just skim through the writing books at first, then go back to the parts that directly apply to me and read them in depth. But, this book I've read page by page and I'm over half way through the book already. (I just started it yesterday.)
There is a lot in the book about how to present a "writer's presence" on the web. It has links to legal sites as well as general information and writing sites. There is information on e-publishing and on finding markets and guidelines on the web for print publications. There are market resources for both fiction and non-fiction. The only drawback I've seen with this book is that is is written and published in Great Britain. At first, I thought this might be a problem with the links they would list, but I was happy to find out otherwise. A large percent of the links in the book are for American sites. There are some for English sites, but even those would mostly be of interest to anyone. I would rate this book highly. I've found it to be a good resource for writer's and I'm glad I bought it.

Format:Paperback
This is a really well crafted book, and has become an essential guide to my travels round the internet. For the writer who wants to find his or her way through the Net, there probably isn't a better book. The authors have researched their subject well, and explain everything in a clear and consise way, pointing the reader towards many useful and practical web sites. A must for every author, whether experienced or otherwise.
